37th annual arts event set to unfold next weekend

The Roycrofters-at-Large Association's annual Roycroft Arts & Crafts Festival opens for its 37th year Saturday and next Sunday at the grounds of the Parkdale Elementary School at 141 Girard Ave., East Aurora.

New this year is a shuttle service that will be offered, since the show has recently been moved to Parkdale to accommodate construction at the Roycroft campus.

The shuttle service, sponsored by Absolut Care of Aurora Park, will be provided to transport art enthusiasts from the Roycroft Festival to the campus for the art and antique shows.
